Does Obama Want MORE Power? Does a Mosquito Like Blood?
Nobody Wonders
Obama has been giving speeches all lover the country, digging up the same old line that gets him sympathy for being the poor guy who Republicans just will not negotiate with. As he once said to an audience about Putin not returning Snowdon, “I shouldn’t HAVE to ask.” Obama has this idea that he shouldn’t have to do a thing with Congress because HE is the President of the United States and they should all come to him.
Never mind that our founders didn’t set it up that way…sorry your BO highness. 
But Nobody Wonders if all this Obama whining doesn’t have an end goal in mind: Ezra Klein of the Washington Post upset another journalist this week, Ron Fournier of the National Journal, when he claimed that Obama the liberals are complaining too much about the LACK of power Obama has:
Klein is right about this: No president is a superhero. First, as Klein suggests, the U.S. political system faces enormous structural problems that make leadership challenging for any president. Chief among them is sophisticated redistricting that has helped create a polarized Congress packed with lawmakers with no incentive to compromise. Second, government austerity reduces the president’s ability to bargain with Congress. Third, the democratization of politics—and of big money in particular—has weakened the party structures. That has weakened a president’s powers that stem from his role as the titular party chief. Finally, the modern GOP is less willing than Democrats to compromise. There is something to Obama’s complaint that virtually any policy he supports will be met by resistance.
“Enormous structural problems” ?
That sums it up right there: The democrats want to give Obama more power, and that old Constitution is in the way.
Nobody Wonders how anyone can forget that the separation of powers works best because it’s suppose to keep tyrants from gaining power…and so far, Obama has gotten everything he wants…..but the one thing he wants most: The Constitution changed to give the executive complete power over all of Congress, and make him an absolute Monarch.
There is a reason Obama and his minions love Mao, and it’s not because Mao read our Constitution.
Nobody Cared About the House Vote….
Nobody Cares
While we were all gushing about the Royal Baby last week, or talking about Zimmerman and race issues, the House had a chance to defund the unbelievable and unconstitutional surveillance of everyone in the United States. But, they chose instead to basically nullify the 4th amendment.(See who voted for it here.) I thought you might want to know about it, since Nobody reported it on TV, (which should tell you something) but Glenn Beck, choose to go after Michelle Bachmann for siding with the surveillance. Really. Everybody was on the baby. You get the feeling that they didn’t want this one watched. 
Either they know we have nukes all over the US ready to be denoted and they don’t want to tell us……
OR…they all think the commoners are so angry about the lot of them, that they want to protect themselves and their families when the coming collapse comes…..
OR…some very big people are going to make a butt load of money off all this collecting.
(I’m guessing all three.)
Either way, it goes to show that our government will continue to monitor each and every one of us. And please—— don’t give me this “BUT…we’re not looking at it!” BS. Do you really believe that?
Soon we will all be saying shouting…”Da Drone! Da Drone! Da Drone is coming!” 
The Nobodies Win!
Nobody Wins!
Despite the constant coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing, the nobodies of America actually won in Congress today. Obama’s dreams of disarming Americans was put on hold:
This from the Washington Times:
President Obama angrily blamed the defeat Wednesday of his centerpiece gun-control proposal on lies spread by the National Rifle Association, calling it “a pretty shameful day for Washington.”
“The gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill,” Mr. Obama said in the White House rose garden about 90 minutes after the vote. “It came down to politics.”
Who lied about this bill Mr. President?
And while he was extremely angry for having lost even after having to ‘share’ his Air Force One with all those grieving families, and putting them up for photo-lops, he did say something that rang true:
” You’ve got to send the right people to Washington,” he told voters. “That requires strength and it requires persistence. I see this as just Round One. Sooner or later, we are going to get this right.”
And the gun-owning voters say: “Yes sir! We DO need to send the right people to Washington. If you think Round One was hard, wait until you get to Round Two, Mr. ‘President.’ We are stocking up. Spreading the word. Getting ready.”
For once, the people put the fear into some elected democrats.
And that’s always a good day.
Nobody’s Email: RAPED, SHAFTED, AND SCREWED…
Nobody Gets Email:
Something tells me this clever little letter has been around for awhile, but its the first time I’ve seen it. I have no clue who wrote it, but really…short, sweet, and right on target!
Enjoy! (Thanks to Pattie)
*************
Old Employee Notice!
Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown in the economy, Congress has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and above, on early, mandatory retirement, thus creating jobs and reducing unemployment.
This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to Congress to be considered for the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced Termination).
Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers).
A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and Screwed as many times as Congress deems appropriate.
Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance.)
Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Congress.
Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Congress has always prided themselves on the amount of SHIT they give our citizens.
Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring this to the attention of your Congressman, who has been trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle.
Sincerely,
The Committee for Economic Value of Individual Lives (E.V.I. L.)
PS-Due to recent budget cuts and the rising costs of electricity, gas and oil, as well as current market conditions, the Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.
The “I Won’t Get Mail on Saturday!” Blues
Nobody Wins
We have ANOTHER FIRST in the Obama’s reign of prosperity and change! The Post Office is going to stop delivering mail to you on Saturday, and of course, to show that Americans support this new cut in service, something that is a FIRST in the History of the Post Office..they are showing people on TV who are in full support.
“Oh..that a great idea! I don’t get anything but junk mail anyway!”
Nobody mentions whether the people who were working on Saturdays will get less pay, which might not hurt them too much because the average salary for the 650,000 American postal carriers is $80,000 a year. And the Post Master General makes more money than Obama, he’s not going to suffer.
Frankly, I think this stinks. Since we became a “service” country, everyone who used to get a weekly check, was forced to get a bi-weekly check, delivered of course…online into your bank account. One day they all said, “You will get your paycheck online.” If you didn’t have a computer…you had to get one.
So, every other Friday is payday, and the supermarkets plan their big sales around the two Fridays of every week in every month.
As for myself, to save time and effort, I pay all my bills as soon as I transfer the check on Friday, and then put them in the mailbox, and if the mailman comes BEFORE I get them all paid, which sometimes happen as they never have the same hours…I HAVE to get them in on Saturday, or else, since THE POSTOFFICE IS NOW SO DARN SLOW, I will get charged a late fee. You have to allow at least 12 days to be sure that your check gets there.
Which means, I will have to do it all Thursday night, in order to get them in the mail by Friday.
(What if they come before I get up on Friday?)
Then I have to go to the Post Office….and I’ll have to buy gas to go to the Post Office which will pollute the planet.
Nobody Wins, when the Post Office hours are cut, but they all got a raise anyway, thanks to Obama, so nobody is hurt but the American Citizen.
And just to make it all seem okay:
Outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta reportedly believes the military should receive a pay cut in order to respond to the budget cuts facing the Pentagon — a position that might strengthen the Republican push to reverse President Obama’s executive order raising the salary of Vice President Joe Biden and other federal officials.
Right..who here believes that President Obama’s going to reverse his executive order? Raise your hands……mmmm…..not seeing any here……
Nobody Thinks the real purpose behind this is to get everyone to pay all their bills…online. They really don’t care if the Post Office makes a profit. And while it seems so wonderful not to have to bother with writing that check, someday, you will look in your bank account and someone would have drawn out more than you wanted them too—-and you might never see that money again, because YOU have given them permission to go into your bank account and grab money.
And to think–they complained about Jesse James.
Monica had the blue dress: ‘Honorable’ Hillary had the green…
Nobody Wins
Today will go down in American History as the day of the Coming of the Democratic Party all over Hillary’s Clinton’s bright green dress. (Or was it a pant suit?)
First: Let’s talk about how they set this up.
Today, everyone in the United States thought that Hillary was going to finally answer what had happened on 9/11 in Benghazi. She went before the Senate and the House, smiling as if she had just won the Nobel Peace Prize.
BUT…Nobody got more than 5 minutes to ask a question, and they alternated between Democrats and Republicans. And so, in a very partisan way, every single democrat that came to question Hillary about what happened in Benghazi, ending up metaphysically, and orgasmically coming all over that “honorable” green dress.
“Oh..you are the best Secretary of State we have EVER Had!” SPLAT.
“Secretary Clinton, you have been such a great public servant–please give us advice on what you think needs to be done with our foreign policy!” SPLAT.
“May I say I am honored to be here and addressed the woman who has changed the way American is viewed all over the world, and you have done so MUCH for women! Thank you SO much!” SPLAT. SPLAT.
“I am so sad to see you in this last event, and hopefully you will become …well you know, I can’t say it, but I hope to work with you in the future when you become President.”
BIG SPLAT.
Sorry I’m being so graphic,…but anyone that watched this farce today, had to become almost ill at the pathological subservient and obsequious democrats salivating their adoration and worship at the feet of someone who obviously would squash them like a roach if they dare not praise her as the god she is and plans to become.
Nobody Asks: So Hillary…where’s Bill’s Cigars? Somewhere along the line, this Congress interrogation was renamed as not an interrogation of a criminal, but a celebration of the wisest women in the world.
“What can we all do to improve the State Department?” They all replied: MORE MONEY!
What was even sadder is that there were very few Republicans that DARED attack her. Rand Paul was truly the only man there who held to the truth. All the rest were just flapping their jaws.
Hillary, was crying, then attacking. Then lying..denying. All the usual Clinton lawyer tactics that she and Bill have perfected and handed down as weapons of war throughout their careers.
Nobody is sure…that this day was delayed by Hillary, to position herself to run for President. Right after we witness Obama looking out at the crowd and saying “This will be the last time I see this.” (You KNOW he staged that.) The very next day, Hillary came out to pronounce her intention to run in 2016. She didn’t have to say it. All the democrats bowed in unison. And she benevolently even introduced the next Kennedy. She welcomed all the young democrats (what were they doing there anyway?) as a queen would welcome her court.
This is pretty much what Hillary said:
You can’t blame me at all, because I didn’t see anything. And besides, none of you know how really complex and complicated the world is and therefore, you don’t need to know anything. And the people who were at fault really weren’t at fault, because let’s face it, Obama told me to deny help to that man because you see we can’t tell you that he was moving arms to Libya, and he went there knowing he might be killed so that’s HIS choice and really not my fault…so I’m not taking the blame, and I refuse to go and answer question on talk shows, and we still don’t know what caused the riots, we don’t have any videos where I am, all I get are a million cables, and of course, I don’t have to read them.
BUT…while I’m here…it’s the Congress that isn’t giving me money to rebuild Africa, and we are going to need to send lots of money over, and hey…I don’t want this “cheapest contractor” stuff. We have to stay in the region and help ALL those countries in Africa build governments…My friends (and I) want to make some real money out of this. And on top of that, I appointed a committee to look into me, and therefore I didn’t need to be questioned because I’m the Secretary of State, therefore, I’m above reproached, and you’d better pray that I don’t become President, and I’m going to, because we are going to destroy the Republicans forever. And I’ve appointed a cabinet position for a person to TAKE the fall when this happens again because no Secretary of State should have to take the fall for this stuff. John Kerry will never have to worry if we are attacked.
And she has a point. Who was fired after 9.11? Nobody.
It was a “come and orgasm on Hillary day” and when she said… “What difference does it make” who killed the poor men in Benghazi, I couldn’t help think of when you catch your lover in bed with another woman, the best defense for most men has been…an attack.
“How DARE you accuse me of having sex with this woman! Can’t you see that it doesn’t matter! I love YOU!”
Yes, it doesn’t matter how POORLY they do their jobs: They love us.
That moment right there proved that Hillary was guilty of that man’s death. In her mind, it was his choice to sacrifice his life for his country. Not her fault.
So there you go. She lied her dress off today…dirty spots and all.
Nobody Thinks there are many American out here in TV land who would have LOVED to get a few questions in themselves.
Like just one—
“Hillary, are you aware that your dress is covered in …BIG UGLY SPLATS? The citizens demand that dress as irrefutable evidence of a democratic cover-up. Someday, you will want to put it in your Presidential Museum. which…by the way…Nobody will EVER bother to visit. ”
Poor Obama…Has to ‘Work’ 4 more years…
Nobody’s Perfect
It’s a “cliff-hanger” of suspense…If ‘President’ Obama and the Congress don’t make a deal in the next couple of days…I’ll have to sell my old drum set, and my grandfather’s old watch, and Timmy Geither will just have to move to Switzerland. But gee…what’s a President to do? He won the election, booked a 3 week vacation in Hawaii…and now he has to fly back Washington D.C. to “talk” again to the same people who he didn’t want to talk to in the first place.
How unfair is that?
First, we heard he was coming in Wednesday morning. THEN..it got updated to Thursday afternoon. THEN it go moved to more like Thursday night. Michelle wasn’t about to cancel her fun, so, will Obama come here for a Photo-op and go back out to Hawaii?
And how much will that cost us?
Or will he just bring his golf buddies back with him and take Air Force One down to Cancun?
It’s just so annoying to have your vacation interrupted by the Nation’s business. BUT..there IS a solution, and I’m so glad Nobody thought of it. Because it’s not being reported that the Obama’s have bought a house for $40 million dollars in Hawaii. I’m sure they have got a lot to do…especially hiding the fact that they are part of the 1% they keep talking about.
Barack and Michelle have just purchase an estate in close proximity to land owned by the University of Hawaii, where the Obama presidential library and “political center” will be located. The estate is valued at $40 million. There’s a movie theater in the mansion and it already is set up to play ALL of Obama’s speeches over the last 20 years – in a continuous loop. ”It was fun while it lasted”, Miss Marion is quoted by Chicagoans as saying, “but wait until you see the place they’re buying for Michelle and Barack!”
What we need to do, is get Obama…”THE BEAM,” and it’s a steal at $16,000. It walks, it talks, it connects, and it will save the taxpayers BILLIONS…no make that TRILLIONS of dollars. All it will need is one body guard to take it up and down stairs.
Take it from a boss who loves it!
Palo Alto, Calif.–Engineer Dallas Goecker attends meetings, jokes with colleague and roams the office building just like other employees at this company in Silicon Valley. But Goecker isn’t in California, he’s more than 2,300 miles away, working at home in Seymour, Indiana. It’s all made possible by Beam…a mobile video-conferencing machine that he can drive around his company’s offices and workshops in Palo Alto. The five–foot-tall device, topped with a large video screen, gives him a presence that makes him and his colleagues feel like he’s actually there.
Think of the GAS he is saving! Think of all the plane tickets he won’t have to buy! Think of the fact that he can’t touch his secretary in all the right places!
I think the Republicans would LOVE it. They might like talking to a robotic screen so much, all kinds of deals would get done. In fact, I say we send them all one, and let them stay home in their districts, where they might have to actually SEE the damage they are doing to the country.
Or they could ALL move to Hawaii!
Software engineer Josh Faust beams in daily from Hawaii, where he moved to surf, and plans to spend the winter hitting the slopes in Lake Tahoe. He can’t play ping-pong or eat the free, catered lunches in Palo Alto, but he otherwise feels like he’s part of the team.
So, there you go. I think it would work. Beam them in. Let Obama go back to Hawaii and stay there…and you know what? He won’t need Air Force One anymore. Park that gas-guzzling sucker Mr. “President” in D.C.
You would save so much money, that we could expand welfare, and nobody would have to work, ever again. Use it to give free Airplane rides to Hawaii to visit your house!
After all…we paid for it. 
Hillary is building Mosques…In Cairo.
Nobody Reports
So, now we find out that Obama is sending money (via Hillary) to Cairo to build Mosques and then put computers in them so that they can have more tools to use against us.
Can anyone impeach this Muslim egomaniac before he destroys us all?
Meantime, the people in New York and New Jersey–those who lost everything…are being harassed…by their own government.
What country is this? Where is the outrage? Where?
And why isn’t our House of Representatives stopping this?
Nobody’s Email: Governor LaPage’s Suggestions..
Nobody Gets Email
Here’s one I got last week. It’s about a no-nonsense governor of Maine, Paul LaPage, who Nobody wishes would got more media time.
(Thanks to Tom Beebe)
THE LAW IS THE LAW!
I really love this one.
This is one of the better e-mails I have received in a long time! I hope this makes its way around the USA several times over!!!!! HERE IS WHAT Governor LaPage said: 
“THE LAW IS THE LAW So “if” the US government determines that it is against the law for the words “under God” to be on our money, then, so be it. And “if” that same government decides that the “Ten Commandments” are not to be used in or on a government installation, then, so be it. I say, “so be it,” because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen I say, “so be it,” because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions. I would like to think that those people have the American public’s best interests at heart.
BUT, he said, “YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I’D LIKE? Since we can’t pray to God, can’t Trust in God and cannot post His Commandments in Government buildings, I don’t believe Government (Federal, State and Local) and its employees should participate in Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life.
I’d like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it’s just another day. I’d like the” US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays.” After all, it’s just another day.
I’d like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the “Christmas Break.” After all it’s just another day.
I’m thinking a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter.
It shouldn’t cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be “politically correct.”
In fact…. I think our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshipping God….) because, after all, our government says that it should be just another day….” What do you all think????
If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the “minority opinions” and begin, once again, to represent the “majority” of ALL of the American people. SO BE IT……….. Please Dear Lord, Give us the help needed to keep you in our country! ‘Amen’ and ‘Amen’ Touché!
If this gets around the country a few times, perhaps we will see a better day!
Sheriff Joe Wants to Know, Where did the Media Go?
Nobody Knows
Well…Donald Trump TRIED to make a big deal out of it, but evidently, Romney shut him down. Joe has done serious research into the fact that Obama broke the law, and forged documents to become President.
The fact that NOBODY in Congress…and that means…Nobody, even pursued this at all, is proof that they are all corrupt. All of them.
Because nobody wanted to get the man on fraud, he’s got complete power, and is grabbing more.
Ask yourself: What would George Washington have done?
HA. Firing squad. Traitors were shot back then.
With people like Glenn Beck saying constantly, “There ARE no conspiracies.” the powerful can do just about anything. Untill good men wise up, nothing will happen.
As my readers know, I was hoping, for all his faults and bombastic proclivity to promote himself, I was hoping Trump would have run. Obama needed to be hammered. Instead we got the “nice guy ” again. Nothing wrong with a nice guy, but you don’t bring a puppy to a knife fight.
I think the Rhino’s talked Trump out of running. …got him to back Romney with promises of great real estate deals.
Too bad.
And…now..I go to rake the leaves off my yard. Sorry Joe…the American people..still love ya! Don’t stop fighting.

Nobody’s Email: The 28th Amendment
Nobody Gets Email
Here’s something that just ticks me off: Millions of kids in the United States, cannot afford to go to school. But…look what our sweet congressmen get for THEIR kids–and their STAFF!…They don’t have to pay back their student loans, and you can be sure those kids go to Harvard and Yale. So guess who is paying for all those rich millionaires children’s education?
YOU!
You, like me, will read about this today, and forget about it tomorrow…because we feel powerless to do anything about it. Nevertheless…maybe we should start making a “naughty Congress tricks” list..Hire a Santa to stand outside the Capitol every day with the list….(Which will be about as long as Pennsylvania Avenue and at least educate the rest of the world to the big sucking sound of greed housed in the halls of deciding how much money we can fork out to them.
(Thanks to Mona)
*****
Found this interesting, Children of congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans. How nice!
Monday on Fox news they learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop?
35 States file lawsuit against the Federal Government
Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.
This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.
This is an idea that we should address.
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform… in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn’t seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don’t care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
If each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: “Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States .”
You are one of my 20.
NOBODY NOTES:
The recent fiasco with Jesse Jackson Jr…getting elected then ‘retiring’ because he is ‘depressed’ about committing crimes, and be allowed to retire with full benefits, and, how much did this cost?
Billions.
Be Thankful, For the Non-Carrington Event
Nobody Wonders
Picture this: It’s 7 am on Thanksgiving morning, you, being the cook in the house, are going through in your mind all that you have to do to get Thanksgiving dinner on by the time everyone arrives at 4.pm. Your brother and his wife and three kids are coming in for the family Thanksgiving meal. There’s a turkey to baste, mash potatoes and pies to cook, corn and buns, and sweet potatoes…the fridge is packed.
You go into the bathroom, and turn on the lights. You are washing your hair in the shower and then…it happens….the lights go out.
The first thing you think of is: “Oh NO! How long will the electric be off?”
Unfortunately for a long time,—almost a year in fact, but you don’t know that. On top of everything, your radio doesn’t work, neither does your cell phone. Your brother never arrives. You have been thrown back into the 18th century, and all because…your Congressman decided that giving money to Egypt was more important than shoring up the electrical grid for this kind of event.
What event?
According to Dr. Michio Kaku, the event of a lifetime, and it’s called The Carrington Event.
Last night on Coast to Coast, Michio was talking about the fear he has: He said the sun is now at its maximum activity for solar flares, and this year, they are monstrous. He is really worried. In fact, the Society of United States Physicists are so worried that they went to Congress and begged for $100 million dollars to prepare our nuclear plants and Satellites for what to them, is more pressing that anything from Iran: An electromagnetic pulse from the sun, which will completely knock out everything electric, not to mention all satellites.
It would literally….cripple us.
Congress, just laughed at them, he said. After all, Congress doesn’t do anything until after the disasters, and Hurricane Sandy proves it. They didn’t prepare New York, unlike many other countries around the world who have built dikes around their vulnerable cities, New York did not.
Dr. Michio couldn’t believe that the Congress —just laughed at him. 
Why is it called a Carrington Event?
At 11:18 AM on the cloudless morning of Thursday, September 1, 1859, 33-year-old Richard Carrington—widely acknowledged to be one of England’s foremost solar astronomers—was in his well-appointed private observatory. Just as usual on every sunny day, his telescope was projecting an 11-inch-wide image of the sun on a screen, and Carrington skillfully drew the sunspots he saw.
Just before dawn the next day, skies all over planet Earth erupted in red, green, and purple auroras so brilliant that newspapers could be read as easily as in daylight. Indeed, stunning auroras pulsated even at near tropical latitudes over Cuba, the Bahamas, Jamaica, El Salvador, and Hawaii. Telegraph lines were all knocked out, even fires started from the solar blast.
And we’ve been hit before:
A huge solar flare on August 4, 1972, knocked out long-distance telephone communication across Illinois. That event, in fact, caused AT&T to redesign its power system for transatlantic cables. A similar flare on March 13, 1989, provoked geomagnetic storms that disrupted electric power transmission from the Hydro Québec generating station in Canada, blacking out most of the province and plunging 6 million people into darkness for 9 hours; aurora-induced power surges even melted power transformers in New Jersey. In December 2005, X-rays from another solar storm disrupted satellite-to-ground communications and Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation signals for about 10 minutes. That may not sound like much, but as Lanzerotti noted, “I would not have wanted to be on a commercial airplane being guided in for a landing by GPS or on a ship being docked by GPS during that 10 minutes.”
Experts who have studied the question say there is little to be done to protect satellites from a Carrington-class flare. In fact, a recent paper estimates potential damage to the 900-plus satellites currently in orbit could cost between $30 billion and $70 billion. The best solution, they say: have a pipeline of comsats ready for launch.
So, needless to say, even though in all probability– a solar flare won’t happen tomorrow. You won’t have to throw out the Turkey. But…according to Michio Kaku, a scientist who knows, it’s a very real possibility that it could happen very soon, in fact, maybe that’s what the Mayan’s were counting on.
And on that happy note: Everyone Have a Great Thanksgiving! Remember, if your lights are on, it’s a reason to give thinks to your favorite God. (LOL)
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
